Cheap UV Shielding? Let's Test It!
Added 2020-07-30 21:31:08 +0000 UTCYes, lots of stuff in my shop that I want to protect from fading and damage due to ultraviolet light exposure, so I for decades I have used inexpensive and easy to get AG Film on my shop windows to filter out the UV from sunlight. In this video I use a UVAB Light Meter to test the window film I have installed in the Lab and Office and I also test my interior lighting to make sure that my artwork is in no danger of fading. Enjoy!

2020-07-31 17:07:06 +0000 UTCYea - these readings were taken in indirect sunlight, but I drop my shades when the sun comes around. Even indirect scattered UV is significant through soda glass.
